A message from Vice-Chancellor Professor Robert Van de Noort
On behalf of the University of Reading, I wish to express our deepest sorrow following the death of His Royal Highness, Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh.
His Royal Highness served his country with distinction and was steadfast in dutifully supporting Her Majesty The Queen throughout her 69-year reign, and their 73-year marriage.
Our deepest condolences are extended to Her Majesty The Queen, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, and the entire Royal family at this sad time.
As a mark of respect, flags at our campuses in Reading and Henley have been lowered to half mast.
